In the MLB, sometimes Mondays are underwhelming. But that’s not the case today. There are 12 games on the slate with so many exciting matchups. So we asked our computers for some help to decide on the best three bets. Here’s one of three bets you’ll want to consider for tonight, with the best MLB odds from the top sportsbooks.
Our AI Model believes the Astros will take advantage of Paul Skenes in today’s matchup. While Skenes should still perform well, the model likes 8.6 runs. However, the total for this game at Caesars is stuck at 7.5. The Over looks to be the play.

MLB Pick: Over 7.5 (-110) at Caesars Sportsbook
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Houston Astros
Monday, July 29, 2024 – 08:10 PM ET at Minute Maid Park
Houston Can Squeeze Out A Few Runs
The Astros won’t put up a ridiculous score, but the offense has enough power to add a couple of runs against Paul Skenes and the Pirates.
Skenes is rising up the Cy Young list, but the Astros have added a .164 ISO against righties over the last month. There’s potential they’ll catch him for a home run or two.
Most Runs From Pittsburgh
The Pirates have more advantages offensively. They’re facing Jake Bloss of the Astros, who has allowed a .353 ISO and wOBA of .430 to his first 54 batters faced this season.
Pittsburgh is getting production from Oneil Cruz, Rowdy Tellez, Joshua Palacios, and Michael A. Taylor against right-handed pitching over the last month.
MLB Computer Pick
It pains me to take an Over with Skenes on the mound for Pittsburgh. However, I believe the Pirates will do enough offensively against Bloss to get Over 7.5.
